Singlespeed & Fixed Gear"I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

All knogs in my opinion not bright enough for you, the bicyclist, to see but enough/barely enough (in the case of frogs) for others (motorists) to see you....if you want "safest" I would recommend you look else where..... cateye makes good lights IMO.

I almost drove into a cyclist with a knog light. That white speck of light didn't make it clear that anything was there, let alone a bicycle. IMO, those lights are enough to make your bicycle street legal but not visible.

planetbike blaze 2w upfront with a superflash in the back is about as good as i've seen without getting into expensive lights that run on battery packs.

you can get away with a blaze 1/2w just to be seen but i'd spend the extra 10-20 bucks on the 1w or 2w as they are bright enough to actually use to navigate a dark road. and on flash they are ridiculously bright and noticable.

knog has a nice design but the LED's are seriously lagging behind the current technology.

btw, just read about Fibre Flare on the other thread. It's kinda old news i know, but I thought this might be another good option.
Only down side is that it's more pricey than Planet Bike light.

the tube bends. You can place it almost anywhere. Clips can go onto ur clothes or bags even. Or any part of ur bike that doesn't get in the way of movement. Suppose to be quite bright as well. Comes in 4 colors.

the boomer is a 1w just like the superflash. it's going to be comparable in visibility.

it's 30, and to me the extra five dollars for knog's silicon band attachment is probably worth it. i'm having a hard time not buying one simply because i HATE clipping and unclipping the superflash stealth between my different bikes.

+1 for no clips! I got that new upgraded frog, and other than it losing brightness kinda (it say 80hrs blinking, which is true but not at full brightness for sure) quick it was a great light. but at $8 per battery set and it being no brighter than a normal frog after like 6hrs, kinda isnt worth it.
